Landscaper Avalon | Podology Landscapes
Landscape design and construction, Avalon.
Bushland-meets-coast landscape work designed for Avalon’s stepped blocks. Elevated decks, native planting, dry-stack sandstone, built for BAL compliance.
What we build across Avalon.
Six disciplines. One team. Every trade coordinated by us — one contract, one project manager, one quote for the whole Avalon build.
Full backyard builds where every trade lands as one.
Retaining, decking, paving, stonework and planting delivered under one contract. Design, engineering, DA, structural build and finish all managed by one team so nothing falls between trades.
Sandstone, dressed stone, sleeper, block. All engineered.
Proper footings, proper drainage, materials chosen to hold for decades against coastal Sydney conditions. Every wall over 600mm engineered and certified.
Hardwood, composite, pool surrounds — built for salt air.
Marine-grade fixings, structural detailing designed for the coastal climate. Timber species and composites chosen to survive salt-spray and UV without cupping or lifting.
Dry-stack sandstone, dressed stone, feature walls.
Local Sydney sandstone sourced from established quarries, installed by experienced stonemasons. Craft that ages beautifully across the Northern Beaches and North Shore.
Substrate first. Surface second. Both properly engineered.
Sandstone, travertine, bluestone and porcelain paving on properly compacted, correctly-drained substrates. Driveways, courtyards, pool surrounds and walkways built to hold.
Native, coastal, chosen for the site — not the catalogue.
Planting schemes designed around salt-wind exposure, soil type and light conditions. Native palettes, structural planting, turf laying and irrigation as one integrated design.

Common questions from Avalon homeowners.
What we get asked most often on Avalon projects.
Do I need BAL compliance for landscape work in Avalon?
Almost always. Northern Beaches Council and NSW RFS have BAL ratings that dictate decking materials, retaining wall specifications and structural detailing near vegetation.
Can you build on Avalon’s steep blocks?
Yes. Terracing, engineered footings, retaining walls, suspended decks are our normal work. We plan machinery access, crane hire if needed.
What plants work on Avalon’s bushland edge?
Coastal natives — banksias, correas, coastal rosemary, native grasses, tea trees. Chosen for salt-wind, sandy soil and dry summer conditions.
What’s a full backyard build cost in Avalon?
Small refresh $12,000 to $30,000. Mid-scope with elevated deck plus retaining $50,000 to $150,000. Full transformations $180,000+.
How long does council DA take in Avalon?
Typically 8-14 weeks for Northern Beaches Council. Vegetation clearing or heritage overlays can extend it.
What if the site has protected vegetation?
Common on Avalon blocks. We identify protected trees at the site visit and design around what stays.
